Réunionnais artist Brandon Gercara the artist engages with the Piton de la Fournaise, the telluric symbol of La Réunion. The artist performs a symbolic transmutation with this emblematic site, steeped in colonial history: the volcano becomes the stage for a political affirmation of Kwir* identities.
In the deserted landscape in this film, the drag presence reinvents these identities through the playback interpretation of a fictional narrative written for the first March of Visibilities in La Réunion, in 2021. Here, art becomes a force for balance in the face of social turmoil, like the water that once stabilized the primordial magma.
